Cartoon Watch: Morland vs. Rowson (and Matt) on Boris as Mayor

Well, as occasionally happens in the world of satire, two of today's cartoons went for a pretty similar idea.

First up is The Times's Morland with an upbeat image of the Boris-City Hall spewing out Ken. And is that the ear of Tony Blair in the bottom left or something/someone else?


This idea was similarly executed in the darker world of the Guardian's Martin Rowson. The Boris Hall is back, this time exchanging eyes and mouth for a distinctly Comic Relief-type nose. A closer look shows Boris wearing a Pearly King outfit alongside David Cameron and an effluent-spewing Gordon Brown on the bank of the river. Also watch out for the Evening Standard boat.


Which leads us nicely onto Matt of the Telegraph's offering...
